    Workspace: The Workspace is the area where the circuit is built. You can place, connect and
                         arrange components to design your circuit.

                          1.  A circuit is a pathway for electricity to flow.

                          2.  Circuits are used in electronic devices, robots and machines to make them work.

                             BASIC CIRCUIT SIMULATIONS

                      In Tinkercad, a simulation is the process of testing and visualising how a circuit works in a virtual
                      environment. Instead of using real-world components, you can design your circuit and see how it
                      behaves on your computer screen.

                      TURNING ON AN LED USING A BREADBOARD

                      To build a circuit that turns on an LED using a breadboard, you will need the following components:

                       LED                                      The LED (Light Emitting Diode) converts electrical energy
                                                                into  light. It has a longer leg (anode,  +) for positive
                                                                voltage and a shorter leg (cathode, -) for negative.

                       Resistor                                 A resistor  controls the flow  of electricity  to  prevent
                                                                damage to circuit components. It is used to adjust light
                                                                brightness or motor speed.

                       Battery                                  A battery stores and releases energy to power a circuit,
                                                                converting chemical energy into electrical energy.

                       Breadboard                               A breadboard is used for building and testing circuits
                                                                without soldering, allowing easy placement and changes

                                                                of components.

                       Jumper Wires                             Jumper wires connect circuit parts, allowing electricity
                                                                to  flow between  components.  They  are  colour-coded,
                                                                with red for positive and black for negative.
